mutt on HP-UX 10.20

[Dennis Handly]

>how can I do that because /usr/local/bin is in PATH.

Is it before both /usr/ccs/bin and /usr/bin?

[Mr GUENIER]

echo $PATH

/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/contrib/bin:/opt/nettladm/bin:/opt/pd/bin:/
usr/bin/X11:/usr/contrib/bin/X11:/opt/upgrade/bin:/opt/hparray/bin:/opt/resmon/b

sr/local/bin:/opt/openssh/bin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:/var/dlc73e/bin

after.

So before you attempt to build mutt you should manually change PATH to:

PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH

[Mr GUENIER]

When I change PATH with your information and reput the original as program in /usr/ccs/bin, I got this with configure command :

/disk12/mutt-1.2.5#./configure --prefix=/opt/mutt-1.2.5 --with-slang=/usr

Do you have a config.log for that?

[Mr GUENIER]

yes.

Ok, it looks like you are stuck with a broken gcc that wants to use /usr/ccs/bin/as.  I suppose there may be a gcc option that tells you the path to as(1)?

Otherwise use your kludge put the gas version there.

[Mr GUENIER]

Can I replace the original "as" by the gnu "as" or create a link to it ?? What is the best solution ?

 I think the path of "as" is "hard coded" in my gnu version (/usr/ccs/bin).

[Dennis Handly]

>Can I replace the original "as" by the gnu "as" or create a link to it?

I would suggest you rename the original as(1) and then create a symlink to the Gnu version.  (You will get swverify errors after you do this.)

>I think the path of "as" is "hard coded"

It looks that way, if you have changed PATH properly and it still failed.

You could also try gcc-3.4.6 or gcc-4.1.1 from my site that has a lot of (more recent) open-source depots for HP-UX 10.20

Note that gcc-4 was not able to producre a running perl5 on HP-UX
